Excerpt from Translations Into Greek Verse and Prose Ere, where the world is quiet, Here, where all trouble seems Dead winds' and spent waves' riot In doubtful dreams Of dreams; I watch the green field growing For reaping folk and sowing, For harvest-time and mowing, A sleepy world of streams. I am tired of tears and laughter, And men that laugh and weep 5 Of what may come hereafter For men that sow to reap I am weary of days and hours, Blown buds Of barren flowers, Desires and dreams and powers And everything but sleep.

Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

While there is a reasonable selection of readers for use with classes studying Greek, there is a shortage of book containing suitable selections for teaching the techniques of translation; this book is designed to fill this gap. It consists of three sections. The first contains a series of sequences which tell a particular story, each sequence being introduced by a brief account of the context; the majority of the sequences are from prose authors. There are also a few individual passages. The second section consists of harder pieces, both prose and verse, some of which are arranged in sequenses, but a greater proportion of which are isolated pieces intended for use as unseens. The final section is an Appendix, which is intended as a convenient source of Greek practice passages.

Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer: Translated Into English Blank Verse Of the noble version of Mr. Bryant, the present translator has made free use as a guide and standard of comparison: and he has nothing to add to the admirable preface of that great writer, saving that his use of the Romanized names of the gods appears to lend a false air of Latinity to the Greek concep (ions. Employment has also been made of the prose version of Theodore Alois Buckley, which has the merit of profound sdtolarship and critical analysis of disputed passages; also, to some extent, of Keep's Iliad.
